Gordon et all-3 suggested that the transport of depot fat to the site of utilization probably takes place in the form of free fatty acid (unesterified fatty acid). Under both normal and abnormal circumstances, the amount of free fatty acid is very small in the serum and liver occupying only 1/4-1/5 of triglyceride or phospholipid. The portion derived from dietary fat is transported mainly in th...

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that potassium concentrations may vary between different geographical regions, possibly reflecting ethnic differences in potassium status. This study compared the serum potassium concentrations of three Asian ethnicities in a single geographical location. METHODS Details of simultaneous serum potassium, creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride and serum index mea...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to further confirm the results documented in previous studies and to test the hypothesis of the presence of any correlation and if found, the regression nature of such correlation between triglyceride and glucose levels in one hand and cholesterol and glucose levels in the other hand. METHODS Samples were collected between March and August 2009 from 438...

introduction: glucose, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl-c), triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein (hdl-c) are the related biochemical factors to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. the present study aimed to assess the seasonal changes in serum levels of these factors in healthy individuals. materials and methods: in the present applied study, demographic information and written...

The serum lipid profile of a cohort of Hong Kong Chinese subjects living in the community (160 men, 154 women, mean age 70.2 +/- 11.4 years) was examined to determine the influence of age, sex, indices of obesity, drugs, smoking, alcohol intake, and presence of diabetes mellitus on serum lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein concentrations. A high waist/hip ratio (an index of central obesity) ...

A hyperlipidemic control serum can be simple prepared from animal lipid sources. Beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins containing cholesterol and triglyceride are removed from porcine serum by treatment with dextran sulfate and calcium ions. A triglyceride-rich fraction containing only trace amounts of cholesterol is isolated from chicken egg-yolks. The two fractions are then combined in 40 mmol/L so...

Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of a prelay ts-11-strain Mycoplasma gallisepticum (ts-11MG) vaccination alone or in combination with subsequent time-specific F-strain M. gallisepticum (FMG) inoculations on the blood characteristics of commercial laying hens. The following 4 treatments were utilized: 1) sham vaccination at 10 wk of age, 2) vaccination of ts-11MG at 10 wk, 3) t...

because the ingestion of some types of dietary fibers has been shown to influence on the lipid and lipoprotein levels, it is possible that chitosan influences on lipid metabolism. in the present study, the effects of chitosan on the serum, liver lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in rat were investigated. serum lipid level in the treatment groups were decreased compared to that of the control...

BACKGROUND Hypertriglyceridemia in association with hypernatremia was reported in a few children; however, studies exploring this association are limited. OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern of change in serum triglycerides levels in hypernatremia patients. DESIGN AND SETTING A prospective case-control study done at North West Armed Forces Hospital, Tabuk, Saudi Arabia from April 2008 to Mar...

OBJECTIVE To assess the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease and potential impacting factors among patients undergoing hemodialysis in Yaoundé, Cameroon. DESIGN A cross-sectional study in January 2016. SETTING Patients were recruited at the dialysis unit of the Yaoundé University Teaching Hospital, Cameroon. PARTICIPANTS These were hemodialysis patients aged 20 years and above, dialyzin...
